Abstract

A rotary driving insertion connection, particularly for transmitting torque in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between components or units of the drivetrain which are connected or are to be brought into a connection for transmitting torque, comprises a primary-side coupling area at a first component and a secondary-side coupling area at a second component. One of the coupling areas has a cutout which is defined by an inner circumference or at least an inner circumferential portion, and the other coupling area has at least one projecting portion having an outer circumference or at least an outer circumferential portion which is inserted or can be inserted into the cutout axially with reference to an axis of rotation in order to provide a positive rotary driving engagement between the inner circumference and the outer circumference. A plurality of coupling elements producing the positive rotary driving engagement is provided between the inner circumference and the outer circumference.
